Liverpool 3-1 West Ham: Reds go second after Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota help secure comfortable victory over Hammers

It was a seven-minute spell to sum up Darwin Nunez’s first year or so on these shores. On 53 minutes, a slick Liverpool passing move ended with the Uruguayan shanking a good chance wide from close range. Seven minutes later, the Kop only had one name on their lips.

‘Nunez, Nunez, Nunez,’ came the visceral, tribal-like roar from all corners of Anfield, after their No 9 had spectacularly fired them ahead in a tight contest against a West Ham side that caused Liverpool plenty of problems.

Rarely has a striker baffled so much.
